Love Lanyadoo Astrology 8.3-9. 2016

Collaboration is your gateway drug to greatness. Find your strength through your ability to communicate and carry out your vision in partnership this week, Aries. You’re strong AF on your own, but that doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t be better or differently awesome with someone else. Embrace the middle ground because it may be a better place than where you were headed. Find life-affirming ways to adopt compromise to get ‘er done.

There’s what you do, and then there’s how you do it. This week you’re on call to look critically at the roll of fear in your decision-making. It’s not enough to strive to avoid pain and problems if your goal is to be happy. The avoidance of crap is not the same as the choosing of joy! Don’t choose the safest route if that means you’ll get security without happiness, Taurus, because investing in a rut will backfire on you quickly. Create the life you want, even if it’s scary, my love.

The only way to get to the other side of the crap you’re stuck in is by going all the way through it, Twin Star. You’re meant to struggle against adversity but not blindly, my friend. You’ve been battling yourself to find the solution to how to get unstuck; but instead of fighting the surface level of your problems, it’s time to go deep. You’ve made good on a self-fulfilling prophesy, and in order to change your fortune, you’ve gotta change your mind. Shift your attitude for best results, pal.

Being assertive and straightforward about what you want is way better than being passive-aggressive and just suggesting what you super freaking wanna say. You’ve got lessons to learn about your ego, Moonchild. Seek out the healthy boundaries of what a balanced you can do instead of being dodgy about your drive for getting what you want. There’s nothing wrong with speaking what you need; and while there are no assurances that you’ll get it, you’re fooling yourself if you think you can be subtle about your feels this week.

If you want to take care of yourself, you’re gonna have to pace it out a bit better, Leo. It’s hard to hear the whispers of your inner voice when you’re caught up in a rush all the time. Slow yourself down, and focus on only the three things that you truly love or are invested in this week. Instead of diluting your energies in too many directions, you can make the most of this Leo season by pouring your best into the things you love most.

If what you want and what you’re doing aren't aligned with each other, then something’s out of whack. Instead of pulling punches, this week you’re on call to get real with yourself. Make sure your actions reflect your intention, Virgo, even if that requires an overhaul of what you do or how you do it. The opportunity here is to have your integrity in check, even when you’re feeling hella emo or overwhelmed. Get right with yourself, and the rest will follow, lover.

Instead of succumbing to anxiety, try to redirect your energies into creative actions. Distract yourself with joyous or healthy things, whether they’re big or small. You have a choice to make between diving deep into stress or finding your way out, and the difference will be whether or not you throw in the towel. Honor your needs, especially when the going gets rough, Libra. Don’t be shy to ask for help as you’re likely to need some serious perspective this week.

The only way for your relationships to be different is if you change, Scorpio. It’d be easy to let yourself miss out on your own patterns in action; but if you do that, you’re doomed to repeat your past, and ain’t nobody got time for that! Take a breather, and check in with what you’re doing this week. Make sure that you’re taking responsibility for your part and truly listening to what others are telling you about themselves.

In order to find peace and inner balance, you first have to seek it. Realign yourself with your top priorities regarding quality of life and wellness, Sagittarius. Whether you’ve lost track of your vision or you need to up your self-care game, what you fix your attentions on and pour you time into this week will show gains. Make sure you’re not frittering your awesomeness on trifling matters that keep you out of sorts.

When you don’t know what’s gonna happen, it’s easy to assume that things will take a downturn; but it’s just not true. Whether you’re freaked out about your life or the state of the world, what you need right now is positive and uplifting distractions, Cappy Mon Capitán. Invest your time, actions, and as much of your energy as you can into resources for change, your potential, and the current abundance that you’re surrounded by.

If you’re not actively participating in the creation process of your life, you’re missing out, Aquarius. This week you can make meaningful progress, but you have to try. Get detailed about the things you can do to advance your quest for happiness, success, love, or whatever else is motivating you. Once that’s done, pick three actionable things you can do today or over the next several days (depending on how big the actions are), and follow through. You’ve got this!

You’ve changed, Pisces, and now it’s time for those changes to better catch up with you. Your identity and relationships need to shift in ways that reflect your inner transformations, and if they don’t, you’re likely to hit a very confusing wall. In the wise words of Octavia Butler, "All that you touch you change. All that you change, changes you. The only lasting truth is change. God is change”. Don’t resist the fallout of what already is, my friend.
